Well, I don't think I can make this any simpler. I hope newbies in the C# language can learn from it.
Very simple console barchart
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace SimpleBarChart
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Make some data in a list for simplicity here.
// Normaly get them from a user, file or a histogram calculation.
List<float> BinList = new List<float>();
BinList.Add(3.3f);
BinList.Add(5f);
BinList.Add(4.2f);
BinList.Add(7.2f);
BinList.Add(8.5f);
BinList.Add(6.1f);
BinList.Add(2f);
BinList.Add(1.6f);
DrawBarChart(BinList);
Console.ReadKey();
}
static void DrawBarChart(List<float> LF)
{
// calculate maximum of the data
float max = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < LF.Count; i++)
{
if (LF[i] > max) max = LF[i];
}
// draw chart
Console.WriteLine('|');
for (int i = 0; i < LF.Count; i++)
{
Console.Write('|');
for (int j = 0; j < (int)(LF[i]/max * 25f); j++)
{
Console.Write('#');
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
Console.WriteLine('|');
}
}
}
